Former Attorney General and possible 2020 hopeful Eric Holder said at a campaign event in Georgia over the weekend said that when Republicans go low, “we kick them,” and added that’s what the new Democratic Party is about.

“They have used the power they have gotten for all the wrong things. They want to keep themselves in power. They want to cater to the special interests,” Holder said, referring to the Republican Party. “It is time for us as Democrats to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are.”

Holder then reminded the crowd of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s phrase, “When they go low, we go high.”

“No. When they go low, we kick them,” Holder said.

The crowd at the event applauded Holder’s line and began chanting, “Fight, fight, fight!”

“That’s what this new Democratic Party is about. We’re proud as hell to be Democrats. We’re going to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party,” Holder added.
